About the DivePort Interface

DivePort offers you a choice of three options to use as a user interface. Each user interface provides a different method of navigation and a distinct appearance.

Simplified Interface

DivePort displays the simplified interface by default.

The simplified interface home page presents menu items as labeled graphics or buttons that you can click to navigate portal pages.

Optionally, you can open a SideBar that shows the menu items in a navigation tree view.

My Library Interface

The My Library interface uses expandable menus which are grouped by environments to navigate portal pages. Each environment contains one or more shelves, which contain links to DivePort pages.

The top navigation panel is dynamic. Its appearance depends on the page that you have selected to view.

The large button on the left side of the top navigation panel is a menu selector. Typically it shows the selected environment and shelf, and the buttons next to it are links to the pages in that shelf. The button for the selected page is highlighted. The following example shows that the Outcomes Advisor environment, Outcomes Summary shelf, and ALOS page are open.

Click the menu selector to open the My Library menu panel in a popup window. The menu panel lists the portal environments, shelves, and pages.

NOTE: The menu panel shows a tabular view of the portal hierarchy. Environments are section headings, top-level pages (shelves) are listed on the left column, and the next level of pages fill out the row.

A SideBar is available to administrators only.

Classic Interface

The classic interface presents menu items as tabs and expandable lists.

A SideBar is available on this interface as well.
